Summary
Joe Biden finally held his first press conference as President of the United States, and it didn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence. In fact, it did not inspire much confidence at all. In this episode of the show, I discuss why I think Joe Biden should not be in politics, and why he should not run for re-election.

Joe Biden will be 82 years old in 2024. He will not exactly be a spring chicken,
00:00:45.760
but nevertheless, he intends to run for re-election. Have you decided whether you are going to run for
00:00:51.980
re-election in 2024? You haven't set up a re-election campaign yet, as your predecessor
00:00:56.620
had by this time. My predecessor needed to. My predecessor. Oh God, I miss him. No,
00:01:05.480
an answer is yes. My plan is to run for re-election. That's my expectation.
00:01:09.640
That's his expectation. Running at 82 is very impressive. But more impressive is actually that
00:01:17.620
Joe Biden expects to be voting at 182, which will be much easier if Democrats get their election
00:01:22.700
reform package through. We will examine all the many people who should not be in our politics.

00:01:38.160
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday from Victor Montero Adames, who says,
00:01:43.900
if women are better than men at everything, why are some women identifying themselves as men? For
00:01:50.120
example, Ellen Elliot Page. Well, that's very simple because they're better than men at being
00:01:54.300
men. That's actually one of the strong arguments for whatever nonsense Joe Biden was saying the other
00:01:59.500
day. Of course, it cuts the other way when you start talking about people like Caitlyn Jenner or
00:02:04.300
whoever else. But I think that there's a strong argument to be had for them, much stronger than the
00:02:10.120
arguments that Joe Biden gave yesterday in his first press conference as president. We had been
00:02:16.600
waiting a long, long time for that. We finally got it. He didn't really inspire a whole lot of
00:02:22.220
confidence, which is why I find it's very good to have real physical assets. One great way to do

00:03:30.120
Joe Biden finally holds his press conference much, much later than any president in modern history
00:03:37.620
held their first press conference. And in it, he didn't inspire a lot of confidence. He obviously
00:03:45.180
said that he has to run in 2024 because if he says that he's not going to run in 2024, he instantly
00:03:53.060
becomes a lame duck. So within two months of being in office, he will be completely ineffective. He won't
00:03:59.500
be able to get any of his agenda through. However, when reporters pressed him on this question of
00:04:05.260
really 82 years old, you're going to run for president. Joe Biden seemed to add a little caveat
00:04:10.900
here. So is that a yes that you are running for reelection? Look, I don't know where you guys come
00:04:16.440
from, man. I've never been able to travel. I'm a great respecter of fate. I've never been able to plan
00:04:20.860
four and a half, three and a half years ahead for certain. And if you do, if you do run,
00:04:25.260
will Vice President Harris be on your ticket? I would fully expect that to be the case. She's
00:04:29.880
doing a great job. She's a great partner. She's a great partner. And do you believe you'll be
00:04:34.860
running against former President Trump? Oh, come on. I don't even think about I don't have I have no
00:04:40.560
idea. I have no idea whether it'll be a Republican Party. Do you? I know you don't have to answer my
00:04:47.600
question, but I mean, you know, do you? I mean, look, this is the way I view things. I become a great
00:04:53.960
respecter of fate in my life. I set a goal of this that's in front of me to get things done
00:04:59.400
for the people I care most about, which are hardworking, decent American people of getting
00:05:05.000
really having it stuck to them. So, Mr. President, are you going to run again?
00:05:10.760
I'm a great respecter of fate does not does not exactly inspire confidence. That's I'm a great
00:05:18.240
respecter of fate. Oh, my gosh. I see the point that he thinks he's making is that, look, anything can
00:05:23.600
happen in this world and you can count on some people and then you're going to lose them. And
00:05:27.800
you know, I get it. He's he's actually, I think, referring to the personal tragedies in his life,
00:05:33.600
deaths of family members. But when you're asked the question, hey, you're going to be a little up
00:05:38.200
there in age. Are you going to be able to run? And he says, I'm a great respecter of fate.
00:05:41.940
I sort of undercuts his previous answer. Joe Biden, he actually got in trouble yesterday
00:05:48.500
because he was giving an answer and he said, you know, look, when I first got to the Senate 120
00:05:53.120
years ago and and people are playing this as though this were some sort of a gaffe. I don't
00:05:57.980
think it's a gaffe. I think he was actually trying to make a joke. But the reality is maybe it wasn't
00:06:02.880
120 years ago, but he did get to the Senate a long time ago. And so that sort of self-awareness,
00:06:08.000
even if he's being a little self-effacing about it, does remind you this is a very old guy by the
00:06:13.920
standards of presidents. And so sure, he can he can say, you bet I'm absolutely going to run.
00:06:20.220
I'm going to run for seven more terms because he wants to protect his agenda. But I just don't
00:06:24.400
think people are really buying it. Now, what is that radical agenda? Part of it is ending the
00:06:30.940
filibuster to be able to ram through more more legislation than otherwise he would, because I
00:06:36.720
think he believes that time may be limited. I'm going to say something outrageous. I have never
00:06:43.000
been particularly poor at calculating how to get things done in the United States Senate.
00:06:48.180
So the best way to get something done, if you if you hold near and dear to you that you
00:07:00.640
I'm we're going to get a lot done. And if we have to, if there's complete lockdown and chaos as a
00:07:07.420
consequence of the filibuster, then we'll have to go beyond what I'm talking about.
00:07:13.000
Okay. Um, hang on. Uh, sorry. Oh, sing me. Miss Kim.
00:07:22.720
Oh man, I'm there. There are some things when politicians flail around and make mistakes and
00:07:33.740
seem incoherent. There are some times when you can just make a lot of jokes about it. You know,
00:07:38.520
there's sometimes when it's so pathetic that I actually think it's sort of wrong to make jokes
00:07:43.880
about it. So I'm not going to, I'm actually going to try to interpret what Joe Biden is failing to say
00:07:49.800
here when he's trying desperately, but failing to say, which is, he says, you know, I've never been,
00:07:54.540
I'm not one who can't get things done in the Senate. I know. And so what I'm saying is, and
00:08:00.040
you can't, well, anyway, and then he second guesses himself and he either forgets what he's saying,
00:08:04.120
or I think even more likely doesn't want to admit what he's saying because he's, he's,
00:08:08.540
he'd be kind of giving away the game here. But what it, what he seems to be implying is,
00:08:12.940
I don't want to get rid of the filibuster, but I know that I have to threaten to get rid of the
00:08:18.940
filibuster to convince certain senators to go along with my extremely radical legislation that I have
00:08:24.600
to pass right now. One, because I'm a politician that doesn't have any beliefs. So I go where the
00:08:28.900
party is and the party is far left, but two, because I'm very unlikely to run a successful
00:08:33.280
campaign in, in a few years. So I've got to get it all done now. That's, that is actually what I think
00:08:38.900
is going on in his head because not that long ago, Joe Biden was saying that he, he was praying,
00:08:45.380
praying to God that, that we wouldn't end the filibuster in the U S Senate.
00:08:50.060
Here's what really is going on here. The majority doesn't want to hear what others have to say,
00:08:55.560
even if it's the truth. Senator Moynihan, my good friend, who I served with for years said,
00:09:01.000
you're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.
00:09:03.980
The nuclear option option abandons America's sense of fair play.
00:09:10.560
It's the one thing this country stands for, not killing the player and field inside and side of
00:09:16.220
those who control and own the field. I say to my friends on the Republican side, you may own the
00:09:24.840
field right now, but you won't own it forever. And I pray God when the Democrats take back
00:09:33.860
control, we don't make the kind of naked power grab you are doing.
00:09:38.660
So I pray to God that we Democrats, when we take back the field, we don't have the naked power grab
00:09:44.260
that you're trying to do by ending the filibuster, the naked power grab by ending the filibuster.
00:09:49.620
That is the essence of our country. It's what America stands for, right? You cannot speak in
00:09:55.420
more glowing terms about the filibuster and you cannot more clearly state you oppose getting rid of it.
00:10:00.400
And I suspect Biden actually does oppose getting rid of it, but he's obviously quite weak. You just
00:10:07.160
have to listen to those two clips. It's not that Biden used to be Winston Churchill or anything,
00:10:10.420
but he has obviously declined. He's not really in control. It would seem of much of anything.
00:10:18.200
And he recognizes that he doesn't have a whole lot of time to get his, his agenda through.
00:10:23.020
Joe, the prayer is in your power. You can muster that prayer and, and you can actually effect the
00:10:31.180
change you want or the consistency you want and not end the filibuster. What, what the Democrats are
00:10:37.660
really worried about here is not that they're not going to be able to cram through gun control. You
00:10:42.160
know, they'll try to cram through gun control. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. The bigger power grab
00:10:46.480
is not stealing our guns. The bigger power grab is HR one and S one, the corrupt politicians act,
00:10:51.940
which is a huge power grab to upend our election system and all the irregularities, all the
00:10:57.500
shenanigans that you saw in 2020, basically to codify them in law and actually go even further
00:11:02.500
than that. So some people are fighting back against it, including the governor of Georgia,
00:11:07.840
where there were a lot of election questions in 2020. Brian Kemp has now signed the Republican
00:11:14.860
backed election integrity act of 2021. Uh, this is a way to tighten up election rules, to reduce fraud,
00:11:24.280
to, to ramp up voter ID, to restrict these drop boxes that are vulnerable to fraud, to expand in
00:11:32.340
person voting and curtail the, the mail-in votes, which are obviously right for fraud and, and a lot
00:11:38.720
of other overhauls as well. Some crazy Democrat lady who's an elected representative down there
00:11:44.640
was, was just arrested by Georgia state patrol after she tried to bust into the governor's office
00:11:51.920
and, and oppose this, the democratic process and oppose the governor signing this legislation. Take a
00:11:58.620
listen. Why are y'all arresting her? Why are you arresting her? Can you cite the code?
00:12:06.620
What a performance we're seeing here. Why are you arresting her? You just tried to bust into the
00:12:10.600
governor's office. She doesn't have a right to do that because she's trying to interfere in the
00:12:16.520
democratic process. That's why. Because she's leading an insurrection. The, the reason I point
00:12:25.680
this out is not because I think that Republicans have a right to bust into people's offices and,
00:12:33.740
and, and, uh, but, but because of the obvious double standard, where is the outrage for governor
00:12:39.640
Kemp's safety? Where's the outrage over someone interfering with the democratic process? No,
00:12:45.340
there isn't any there. Of course there isn't any, there is never any, any outrage about that because
00:12:51.020
the, the Democrats define the democratic process is whatever they want. So, so expanding the right to
00:12:58.360
vote, defending our democracy, according to Democrats is when you get rid of all the election integrity
00:13:03.420
measures. And when you try to beef up those election integrity measures and protect the ballot box,
00:13:08.060
that's undermining democracy. When a bunch of Republicans storm into a government building,
00:13:12.780
that's an insurrection. When Democrats storm into a government building, that's democracy in action.
00:13:17.700
And how dare the police, remember when the Democrats were defending the police on January 7th,
00:13:22.940
I guess that was probably the last time they defended the police. Now it's, why are you arresting her?
00:13:27.460
It's all such a ridiculous performance. And I, I just don't think that the, the right should give
00:13:32.140
this sort of thing any credence, but politics is ramping up. People are on edge. It's hard,
00:13:38.120
hard sometimes for people to sleep easy at night. If you want to sleep easy though, I have a great
00:13:41.900
way to do it. My pillow. A lot of people love my pillow because they think, oh, it's a good
00:13:47.720
conservative company. Yeah, that's great. That's cool. I'm going to confess something to you right
00:13:53.040
now. I would shop at my pillow, even if they were a communist company, I would, I would. Okay.
00:13:58.600
Because they make the best pillows and that's just the way it is. And my wife and I fight over them
00:14:03.780
and that's fine too. I don't, I don't even care that this has brought strife to my marriage. I guess
00:14:08.620
I could just buy another pillow, couldn't I? You got to check them out. They don't go flat. You
00:14:12.520
can wash and dry them as many times as you want. They maintain their shape. If you do not have a
00:14:18.260
MyPillow, if you know someone who doesn't, now is the time to get one because for a limited time,
00:14:22.340
MyPillow is offering their premium MyPillows, the lowest price ever. You can get a queen size premium
00:14:26.860
MyPillow regularly, $69.98 for only $29.98. That's $40 in savings. Kings are $5 more. They're
00:14:34.080
going to extend their 60 day money back guarantee, but who cares? You're not going to, you're not
00:14:37.420
going to use it. Go to MyPillow.com, click on the radio listeners square. There you will find not
00:14:42.640
only this amazing offer, but also deep discounts on all MyPillow products, including the Giza Dream
00:14:47.180
bedsheets, the MyPillow mattress topper, and MyPillow towel sets. I cannot recommend these products
00:14:52.900
highly enough. Call 800-651-1148. Use promo code DailyWire and think of me every time you put your
00:15:00.060
head on your pillow. Glad to see that Governor Kemp in Georgia is taking election integrity
00:15:06.120
seriously now. I wish he had taken election integrity seriously earlier. Sure would be
00:15:14.060
better. He would have faced a lot less criticism from conservatives, but he should get credit for
00:15:18.720
taking it seriously now. This is a very important bill. I hope that there are similar laws passed
00:15:23.600
throughout the country, and I hope that Republicans fight tooth and nail to prevent HR1 and SB1,
00:15:30.120
the Corrupt Politicians Act, from becoming law, because this is such a fundamental transformation
00:15:35.200
of our elections that it would put Republicans not just at a permanent disadvantage, it would upend
00:15:42.240
our constitutional order. So CNN, very upset about this. John Kasich, you know that Republican
00:15:49.600
John Kasich, he showed up on Don Lemon's show on CNN to express his absolute fury over measures like
00:16:00.080
the one in Georgia to protect our elections. That isn't right. Have him show some form of
00:16:05.480
identification, but doesn't have to be a picture. That apparently is in that, along with limiting
00:16:10.700
voting on Sunday, which is also, I don't like either that either. Let people vote. So then what is going on
00:16:17.180
here? I mean, as a, you're still a Republican, right? You have a, there are some people who come
00:16:21.740
on to say that. Yeah, a very good one. I'm a Republican. Of course, I'm a very good Republican.
00:16:27.240
That's my job. I'm the sort of Republican who goes on CNN to bash Republicans. Oh, hey, John,
00:16:36.800
who'd you vote for last time? Oh, he voted for, let me check. He voted for Joe Biden. Oh, okay.
00:16:40.720
You're not a Republican then. That's just a, you're not, you, you are a Democrat. You pretend to be a
00:16:48.420
Republican so that you can go on Democrat networks and give fake opposition and pretend that there is
00:16:58.060
some dialogue happening when there's not. You're all on the same team. You're all supporting the
00:17:02.840
same agenda. You're all supporting the same politicians and opposing the same politicians.
00:17:06.340
John Kasich, not the only one, not the only court jester conservative who pretends to,
00:17:14.300
to be a Republican, but in actuality exists only to legitimize the existing Democrat regime.
00:17:19.940
Michael Steele, former chairman of the Republican national committee. He doesn't do this for CNN.
00:17:25.740
He does this for MSNBC. And he said that this election integrity measure in Georgia,
00:17:31.260
this is totally going to alienate black voters. The question to Republicans in Georgia and Arizona
00:17:38.040
and elsewhere that are, are taking rights, voting rights away from black people across this country
00:17:44.800
in places like Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit. How do you think this ends? How do you think this
00:17:52.420
ends for you? Do you think, you think black folks are just going to sit by and just let you get away
00:17:56.740
with this? Do you think the bishop and others are just going to say, oh, well, I guess there's
00:18:02.020
nothing we can do. The Georgia legislature just passed this and the governor signed it.
00:18:06.360
Every last one of your names go on a ballot. Enjoy your time in office because you're going to see
00:18:12.680
the power of the vote come back on you like a hammer, like a hammer for the action you've taken
00:18:20.420
and the bill that was signed into law today. It is antithetical to everything our party has stood
00:18:26.540
for in its history. And it's antithetical to everything this country has stood for.
00:18:33.140
Is that so, Michael Steele, good Republican on MSNBC? He's just, look, he's expressing outrage here.
00:18:41.900
Not outrage of the Democrats or of the Republicans. I think we can all agree that what this Republican
00:18:46.600
governor did is terrible. Even Republicans like Michael Steele. Hey, Michael Steele,
00:18:49.920
who'd you vote for last time? Oh, you voted for Joe Biden. Oh, okay. All right. So you're not,
00:18:54.740
you're not a Republican. You're a Democrat who worse than the other Democrats on this network
00:19:00.700
pretends to be a Republican. You are a court jester conservative. You are a fake opposition
00:19:07.980
that exists to legitimize the ruling regime. And worse yet, Michael Steele is performing his role
00:19:16.220
by trying to arouse racial tension. Say the black voters, they're never going to forgive the GOP
00:19:22.440
for passing voter ID laws. Is that so? Is that so? Because I just saw a poll that came out
00:19:28.540
from HEP, HEP Action Survey, not just a few days ago, that said that the majority of Americans,
00:19:36.320
including a majority of black and Hispanic voters, overwhelmingly support voter ID. We mentioned this
00:19:42.720
on the show a few days ago. 77% of Americans support voter ID. Only 15% of Americans oppose voter ID.
00:19:51.480
92% of Republicans support voter ID. 64% of black voters support voter ID. So this, this idea that
00:20:00.140
black Republicans are going to turn on, on Brian Kemp for this, turn on Republicans is, that's
00:20:07.720
preposterous. But it's also preposterous to say that black voters in general, who's, who skew
00:20:14.260
overwhelmingly Democrat, that black voters in general are going to turn on people because of
00:20:17.740
voter ID. Black voters support voter ID. The only people who oppose voter ID are illegal voters who
00:20:24.000
Democrats use to puff up ballot boxes. That's no crazy conspiracy theory. Democrats have been doing
00:20:30.280
that for a very long time. You can read Robert Caro's biography of Lyndon Johnson, where he describes
00:20:36.620
in excruciating detail how Lyndon Johnson stole the 1948 Senate election. Lots, lots of nonsense,
00:20:46.640
but it's, it's a way to pretend, you know, to speak from authority. Well, as the authority on Republicans,
00:20:53.900
as the authority on black voters is that, no, you're not an authority on anything. You're a Democrat
00:20:58.820
commentator now who pretends to be a Republican on MSNBC or John Kasich as a Democrat commentator
00:21:04.540
who pretends to be a Republican on CNN. But in terms of what actual Republicans think and more
00:21:10.220
broadly what actual voters think, quite different. Those guys, that fake opposition, those court
00:21:15.720
jester conservatives are not the future of the GOP. They don't know anything about the future of the
00:21:20.040
GOP. They are the failed past of the GOP. John Kasich does not speak for Republicans. I think the 2016
00:21:27.440
primaries should show us that. And the fact that he switched sides. That, that old thing that we've
00:21:35.480
been talking about, you know, before Trump, the failed GOP of John McCain, 08, Mitt Romney, 2012,
00:21:43.880
losing with dignity. What dignity? I don't think that's dignified at all. That's at the minute that
00:21:50.060
they have a candidate who actually could win for the first time in a couple, a few cycles,
00:21:54.640
what do they do? They turn on him. They vote against him. Speaking of polls showing some good
00:22:02.180
news for Republicans among minorities, a new poll that was released this week shows that Latino voters
00:22:07.900
in California, these voters that Gavin Newsom's counting on, he keeps also trying to inflame racial
00:22:12.940
tensions and say that his, the recall against him is just because white people are upset about the
00:22:18.400
browning of California. And that's why Hispanics, you know, they hate you, Hispanics. You got to vote
00:22:22.700
for me, Gavin Newsom. Well, new poll shows, Latino voters, they're not, they're not less likely than
00:22:29.480
other voters to vote for Newsom's recall. They're actually more likely than other racial groups.
00:22:36.520
The Probolski Research Center is a nonpartisan Latina and woman owned firm. So it checks all the,
00:22:44.620
the PC boxes. They have no client in the recall election and they find that Latinos more than
00:22:53.140
other racial groups are leaning toward recalling him. All of this to say, I think that when liberal,
00:23:01.100
squishy, fake Republicans like Kasich or, or Steele or any of these other people say that, you know,
00:23:08.000
the way for Republicans to woo minorities is to basically become Democrats, I think that's
00:23:14.780
ridiculous. And when identitarian types say that there's no way whatsoever for Republicans ever to
00:23:22.660
woo minorities, I think that's ridiculous too. If you just, if you look at the way the votes go,
00:23:29.560
it's very tricky. It might, it might not work out in the end, but certainly you can grow,
00:23:37.740
your base of support as a conservative among minority groups. Donald Trump did that. He didn't
00:23:43.380
do enough to push him over the edge in the election though. Actually the only group he really lost
00:23:48.240
support among in 2020 was white men. So if he could have solved that problem, he would have looked
00:23:53.020
pretty good. I don't think that the way for Republicans to do better among black voters, especially,
00:24:01.960
but also they don't, they don't do particularly well among Hispanic voters. I don't think the way to do
00:24:06.380
better is through pandering. I don't think racial pandering is going to do it. I don't think extolling
00:24:13.640
the virtues of tax cuts and tax cuts alone is going to do it. I don't think that abstract philosophizing
00:24:19.540
is going to do it. Purely abstract notions. I think practical politics are going to do it.
00:24:27.120
But I think, I think getting down into the nitty gritty of look at what this guy is doing to this
00:24:34.060
state. Look at what crazy nonsense these people are teaching our children. There was, there was a,
00:24:39.580
a Democrat representative who went on Tucker Carlson show the other day who said, one thing that the
00:24:44.600
white progressives in my party don't understand is black Democrats are much more conservative on a
00:24:50.580
lot of issues than the white progressives who lead the party. I think Republicans have,
00:24:54.480
have a way in there, but the way that a lot of Republicans think they're going to win minority
00:24:59.120
voters is by becoming more liberal. I don't think that's the case. I think the way they're going to
00:25:02.640
come in is by speaking more plainly about practical things, about cultural issues that matter. That is
00:25:08.260
a way to do it. That's what Donald Trump did. And he actually did make inroads among those racial
00:25:13.460
groups. If only the fake court jester conservatives on CNN and MSNBC took note, they probably don't care to
00:25:19.600
take note because I don't think they want the Republicans to do much better. These, these racial
00:25:25.320
narratives are simply ridiculous. Andy Ngo, my friend, you know, my friend, Andy Ngo, that white
00:25:32.880
supremacist, according to the left-wing media, is a, is a kind of a curious white supremacist since he's
00:25:39.980
not a white guy, but they call him that. It's far right. I don't even, I don't even know if he's
00:25:43.860
really that right wing. He just opposes Antifa. He opposes political violence. He's one of the few
00:25:49.740
journalists in the country who will go out there and actually chronicle what Antifa is doing. He's
00:25:54.520
got a great book about this now. He points out that a lot of the racial narratives we're being
00:25:59.560
told are just ridiculous. He tweeted the other day, he said, I'm hearing it repeated as gospel
00:26:04.460
truth that nearly all American mass shooters are white. Here are the photos of mass shooters from 2019
00:26:09.620
defined as four or more shot in a single incident. It shows quite a diverse set of faces. And you see
00:26:15.520
when you're looking in there, you see white people, you see a lot of black people, you see what looks
00:26:22.540
like some maybe Hispanic people, some other races in there as well. Andy Ngo is now being accused of
00:26:30.280
defending white supremacy for stating what? For stating a fact, for just portraying the, the depicting the
00:26:38.680
number of the, the types of people, the races of people, the background of people who have committed
00:26:42.320
these shootings. Yes, that's what we're being told. We're being told that racial bigotry is not just
00:26:49.280
when you antagonize someone for their skin or you hate someone because you're making things up.
00:26:54.920
Even when you just state facts, even if you just name people who commit these crimes, if you contradict
00:27:03.300
the dishonest left-wing narrative, that is somehow bigoted and wrong.
00:27:11.180
Mina Harris, who is a niece of Kamala Harris, she, she tweeted out after the horrible shooting in
00:27:18.940
Colorado, she tweeted out about how this, this involved white supremacy and it was so terrible.
00:27:24.140
Then it turned out the shooter was not a white supremacist. He was a Syrian immigrant actually.
00:27:28.420
Was not a Christian nationalist. He was a member of a different religion. And so she, she deleted the
00:27:35.940
tweet, but she didn't really apologize. She, she tweeted, she said, I deleted a previous tweet about
00:27:40.640
the suspect in the Boulder shooting. I made an assumption based on his being taken into custody
00:27:44.600
alive and the fact that the majority of mass shootings in the U.S. are carried out by white men.
00:27:48.620
So pause right there. The majority of people in the United States are white. So it would follow that
00:27:58.280
crime would be committed by the proportion of the population. But it turns out when you look at
00:28:02.620
the number of mass shootings in the United States, white shooters are underrepresented given the
00:28:11.160
percentage of people in the United States that are white. I don't think that mass shootings are,
00:28:16.260
are a primarily a product of race, but Mina Harris does. And it turns out Mina Harris is completely wrong
00:28:21.920
on, on all of those counts. She says, yeah, okay. I deleted that tweet because I, I just made something
00:28:29.440
up and was prejudiced against a racial and sexual group. I was bigoted against them, but my bigotry
00:28:38.520
is justified. That's what she's saying. She's saying my bigotry is justified and you people who want to
00:28:45.120
wait for the truth to come out. You're, you're, you're just, what are you, you're defending white
00:28:49.640
supremacy or something like that. Speaking of bigotry against a group of people, is there any
00:28:53.780
more persecuted group in this country than Christian bakers? This poor guy, you know, Jack Phillips,
00:29:01.540
he is the guy who runs Masterpiece Cake Shop. We've had him on this show before years ago.
00:29:07.740
Jack Phillips, he's a Christian guy. He's a baker and political radicals keep targeting.
00:29:16.120
So for a while, these, these activists trying to redefine marriage, they go into his bake shop.
00:29:21.860
They say, we want you to create a custom cake for our gay wedding. And Jack Phillips said, well,
00:29:28.320
you know, I, according to my religious lights, the phrase gay wedding is, is, is nonsensical
00:29:33.940
because marriage involves the sexual difference. And moreover, my religion tells me I can't participate
00:29:41.240
in that ceremony. So sorry, I can't, you can buy any of our cakes, but I can't, I can't contribute
00:29:49.800
my art toward this, the ceremony that I, I view with moral opprobrium. So he gets sued,
00:29:57.560
goes all the way up to the court. He's been litigated, all this. There are plenty of bakeries
00:30:01.620
around Jack Phillips. There are plenty of other bake shops that they could go to that would participate
00:30:06.440
in the ceremony. Jack Phillips doesn't want to, but it's not enough. It's not enough to say live
00:30:12.780
and let live. Okay. I do what I want to do. You do what you want to do. That's just not how politics
00:30:17.380
works. And the left understands this and the right, I think, doesn't really understand this,
00:30:21.160
doesn't understand this. Jack Phillips must be made to violate his moral conscience.
00:30:28.520
If this radical political regime is to survive and flourish, Jack Phillips must be brought down.
00:30:37.560
He must be made to obey the politically correct dictates of the day. So now they're suing him
00:30:43.140
again. Some lawyer calls him up and says, hey, I want you to bake a cake that celebrates a gender
00:30:49.200
transition. Jack Phillips says, I can't do that. I think that's wrong. Violates my conscience. I don't,
00:30:56.520
I also don't think it's possible. So I'm not, I can't do that. You can buy any of our cakes,
00:31:01.100
but I can't participate and create a custom work for you. So he's getting sued again.
00:31:06.560
All in the name of, of tolerance, all in the name of liberation. The people who are doing this,
00:31:11.160
who are persecuting Jack Phillips for his religious views, and not even just his religious views,
00:31:16.660
for defending the traditional American way of life, for defending a view of sex and nature and marriage
00:31:25.720
that has been held by everyone everywhere at all times in history, except for like five minutes
00:31:30.520
ago, right here in the West. The people doing that really think they're the good guys.
00:31:36.020
They really think that by ruining this baker's life, they are the good guys. It's like that old
00:31:43.360
sketch. You know, they don't, they don't realize they're the baddies. They're just nice guys. Joe
00:31:47.700
Biden thinks he's a nice guy by creating this horrible problem on the Southern border. Joe Biden was
00:31:51.960
asked in that disastrous press conference. What about the Southern border? The president of Mexico
00:31:57.960
is saying you're to blame for this. Come on. Isn't this your, isn't this your fault? He says,
00:32:01.720
no way I'm a nice guy. Well, look, I guess I should be flattered. People are coming because I'm the nice
00:32:07.300
guy. That's the reason why it's happening. That I'm a decent man or however it's phrased that, you know,
00:32:12.160
that's why they're coming because no Biden's a good guy. Truth of the matter is nothing has changed.
00:32:17.660
As many people came, 28% increase in children to the border in my administration, 31% in the last
00:32:27.220
year of in 2019 before the pandemic in the Trump administration. It happens every single solitary
00:32:35.940
year. There is a significant increase in the number of people coming to the border in the winter months
00:32:43.360
of January, February, March. It happens every year. In addition to that, there is a, and nobody,
00:32:53.060
and by the way, does anybody suggest that there was a 31% increase under Trump because he was a nice guy
00:32:59.460
and he was doing good things at the border? That's not the reason they're coming.
00:33:05.000
So this stuff just isn't true. Sure. And the numbers can go up and down and up and down,
00:33:08.380
but the idea that the number of people crossing the border illegally has not spiked because of
00:33:13.980
Joe Biden after Joe Biden was inaugurated, that's just ridiculous. The Mexico president says that's
00:33:18.740
ridiculous. Even Jake Tapper on CNN is willing to admit that's ridiculous. They're not getting across
00:33:24.740
the border. A vast majority of families are being sent back. Is that true, Daniel? Jake, that was not
00:33:30.420
true in February, which is of course the last month for which we have a full month's data. According to
00:33:35.680
official statistics, it was 41% of migrants, so not a majority who came in February as part of family
00:33:40.920
units who were swiftly sent back. So many, so many other problems with what Joe Biden's saying,
00:33:46.920
but most he says, look, cause I'm a decent man. Cause I'm a nice man that I'm flouting our laws
00:33:53.720
that were passed in our constitutional democratic Republic that I'm creating awful conditions far worse
00:34:01.180
for the children detained than under Trump that I'm incentivizing this horrible thing and empowering
00:34:08.540
coyotes. No, it doesn't make you a nice guy. It doesn't make you a decent guy. The road to hell
00:34:11.880
is paved with good intentions. And I don't think Biden even has those. It's a naked power grab and
00:34:16.440
Biden, Biden isn't selling it even well enough to convince CNN. Come on, man. Come on, man. Ben will
00:34:22.240
be talking about Biden's press conference today and, and he will be surmising that perhaps
00:34:28.140
this is evidence that Joe Biden is in slight decline, you might say. So check, check out Ben's
00:34:33.900
take. Also, you can get very excited. Tonight is the premiere of episode two of Candace. Daily

00:35:19.320
episode, you got to go to dailywire.com. We'll be right back with the mailbag.
00:35:25.800
Welcome back to the mailbag. First question from Jake. Dear Michael, I'm personally not a religious
00:35:42.320
person and I am personally an atheist. In your podcasts, you mentioned that the leftist side
00:35:47.260
of the political establishment wants to get to the children through educational facilities. The reason
00:35:52.200
for this is because younger children are easily impressionable and therefore it's a form of
00:35:55.380
indoctrination. So my question is, couldn't that be said of normal religious practice?
00:35:59.680
Most children follow the religious beliefs of their parents. Essentially, if it was a flip of
00:36:03.940
the coin, someone who's Christian could easily be of Muslim or Sikh faith if they were simply born
00:36:08.520
into a different household that held those religious views, which shows that faith is more
00:36:11.920
dependent on luck of the household you were born in than any other factor in most cases.
00:36:15.900
What do you believe is the difference? Thanks. Love the show. First of all, you're right that
00:36:21.640
people try to get to children if they want to educate them. But that's not a bad thing in and of
00:36:28.500
itself. That's just what education is. Children will be educated. You have to. I mean, that's just
00:36:35.900
part of growing up and you will either be educated in the right way or the wrong way.
00:36:42.200
You will. Children absorb everything around them. They will be taught things. They will learn things.
00:36:47.160
That's just what children do. And so the question is, do you teach them true things and good things
00:36:51.480
and beautiful things or do you teach them false things and ugly things? That what the left is doing
00:36:56.120
is going in and perverting education. But I don't think it's wrong of them to go in and indoctrinate
00:37:01.640
children. I don't think that's a wrong idea. Indoctrination and education mean the exact same
00:37:06.080
thing. They both come from the very same verb. All education is coercive and you don't get to
00:37:12.640
freely choose your education either because part of education is learning how to master your will and
00:37:17.420
develop your higher faculties of reason. You can't really do that when you're three years old or five
00:37:23.680
years old and you start kindergarten. The question of religious faith is just a matter of how you were
00:37:30.180
born. Maybe that's true for some people. It's not true for me. I was an atheist for 10 years.
00:37:36.440
Many of my friends are converts or reverts. Most people I know who are really to take their religious
00:37:43.300
and spiritual lives seriously, maybe the majority of them, certainly a huge proportion of them,
00:37:49.280
do not hold the religious views that they held when they were kids. Also part of education though,
00:37:53.660
the more you are educated, the more you will be in command of your higher faculties and your will.
00:37:58.160
I remember when I was 13 years old and very prideful, though not particularly educated,
00:38:04.780
I was really taken in by the new atheists, those guys, Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens and
00:38:09.920
all that. I read their books, some of them, and I was really convinced. Then I just realized that
00:38:15.900
the arguments against God are weak. There really aren't any. The arguments for God are really strong.
00:38:23.660
And the thought of someone like St. Thomas Aquinas is a little bit more persuasive than the thought
00:38:29.540
of, I don't know, Sam Harris or somebody. So that is part of education. But you're not going to,
00:38:36.820
you don't just begin from the perspective of, okay, I'm a fully formed person. I totally know
00:38:42.020
everything. Now I can begin my education. No, your education is what brings you to that point. So I don't
00:38:46.400
think there's anything wrong about it. I think rather than saying, we need to get the left out of the
00:38:51.160
schools, we need to say, no, no, we need to get the left out of the schools and we need to go into the
00:38:54.700
schools and we need to write the curricula. It's not enough to make formal procedural arguments. We
00:39:01.340
have to actually have something to say. We have to say, believe this, don't believe that. And some,
00:39:06.540
some conservatives are not willing to accept that eternal fact. From Paul, Michael, I'm an 18 year old
00:39:12.400
and I have come to doubt the Mormon faith in which I was raised. I would like to explore other
00:39:17.200
Christian churches to see if I at least believe in Christ. This has become a major point of tension
00:39:22.020
with my parents and I don't know how to get them to respect my religious freedom and beliefs. What
00:39:27.180
advice do you have for me? Thanks for all you do. I love the show. This is very difficult. Can't blame
00:39:33.560
your parents necessarily if they're not immediately accepting that, that you have a different view of
00:39:39.840
the world than they do. But Christ comes not to bring peace, but a sword. And if you do not hate
00:39:44.840
your father and mother, you, you cannot follow him. Now, what does that mean? Does that mean you
00:39:49.240
need to be mean to your parents at dinner? No, that's not, not what he's saying, but you need
00:39:52.800
to recognize that you, you owe loyalty and duty and love to your family and to your community and to
00:39:59.320
your country. But ultimate, your ultimate duty and, and the ultimate love is for God. God is love
00:40:10.460
itself, right? So that, that is your higher obligation. And, and you, you have to pursue
00:40:17.040
that light. I mean, your, your soul will depend on it. And, and that, that is the, the higher
00:40:23.580
obligation. We all have to love our neighbors ourselves, but first we have to, to love the
00:40:29.160
Lord, our God with all our heart and all our soul. So I, I wish you luck. I will, I can pray for you.
00:40:34.800
From Brent. Hey, Michael, I know your prior thoughts on the criminalization of flag burning.
00:40:40.500
Oh yeah. I think, I think it would be perfectly fine to criminalize flag burning. It's for those
00:40:44.300
who haven't, haven't heard this thought before, but I heard a good argument that changed my mind
00:40:48.840
on this. I was wondering if you would feel the same. Basic argument is that some places can't
00:40:53.100
verbally say anything bad about their leaders without punishment. So if you are able to burn the
00:40:57.120
flag in the USA without punishment, just shows how great this country is compared to all the others.
00:41:00.880
I'm interested in hearing your thoughts. Thank you for the show. I enjoy it. Even though
00:41:04.780
all the other personalities at the Daily Wire tell me I shouldn't. Yeah, there's a difference
00:41:08.460
here. I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to burn a picture of Joe Biden or burn a picture
00:41:13.720
of Donald Trump or burn the symbol of some politician or other politician. What I'm saying
00:41:19.040
is that there is a categorical difference between a representation of politicians and a representation
00:41:23.760
of the country itself. And to burn the American flag, to invoke the first amendment as a justification
00:41:29.420
for burning the symbol of the country, without which the first amendment would not exist,
00:41:36.100
is an incoherent action. And no country can survive if it hates itself. It is an act that makes no sense,
00:41:49.680
that will destroy a country if you have people who disdain their very country and who destroy symbols of it.
00:41:56.420
So I just think it's totally different, which is why there were laws against burning flags for
00:42:00.520
most of our country's history until very recently. And it's why so many conservatives on the Supreme
00:42:06.900
Court disagreed with the idea that you should be able to burn the flag or that you could burn the
00:42:12.760
flag as a matter of constitutional principle. Scalia notably thought that the first amendment protects
00:42:18.840
flag burning. Though this was not totally in keeping with conservative legal tradition. And I'm
00:42:26.120
not, not totally sure he got this one right. But even, even if he did get it right, I just think you
00:42:29.640
could, you could pass an amendment saying, okay, but you're not going to burn the flag. And I think
00:42:33.220
that would matter. And I think that conservatives who say, oh, forget about it. It's just a symbol.
00:42:37.820
Forgetting about symbols, forgetting about cultural matters is how we've lost the entire country
00:42:42.900
through political correctness, a process that I detail, by the way, in my upcoming book,
00:42:46.540
speechless, controlling words, controlling minds. So I think that, uh, the days of the egghead
00:42:51.320
conservatives who all they care about is, you know, tweaking a few aspects of administrative
00:42:56.220
policy and lowering taxes. I think their days are over. I just think they, they lost the whole country
00:43:01.360
and now we need to get much more serious about culture and about symbols and the way, the way we
00:43:06.740
think about the country itself. From Mason, Mr. Knowles, oh, speaker of truths. I recently finished my
00:43:13.000
first novel and was planning on publishing it through Amazon. Though it is a work of fiction,
00:43:17.480
now I am not so sure that it is the route to go since it speaks to conservative topics such as being
00:43:23.440
made in God's image and the dangers of China's policy of technological theft. Obviously Amazon's
00:43:28.140
actions in recent months, uh, make me hesitate to use them even though they remain the best means to
00:43:33.280
distribute my work to the masses. Any thoughts you have on the subject are appreciated. Well, I think
00:43:37.260
unless you are an extremely prominent established writer already, your, your odds of being canceled
00:43:43.420
by Amazon are, are relatively low. So if they're going to offer you an opportunity to get your work
00:43:47.620
out there, I don't see any reason not to do it. And moreover, at least for now, conservatives or
00:43:53.960
rather Amazon is not canceling and banning books on all manner of conservative topics, just a very narrow
00:44:01.600
matter of them. Amazon is banning the transgender debate. Uh, Ryan Anderson's book, When Harry Became
00:44:10.540
Sally, that one's being banned because it's such a hot issue. The left has absolutely no argument on
00:44:16.440
it. It's really that kind of an argument, especially given in such a scholarly way as Ryan Anderson's
00:44:21.200
book, that is a real threat to the ruling regime and this, this dominant ideology. So they're going to
00:44:28.680
kick that out. The, they, they flex their muscles on, on lots of issues, but they, you know, they're
00:44:33.840
not, they're not doing it for everyone, for every conservative issue at all times. So I wouldn't worry
00:44:39.280
about that too much. I would try to get your work out there, your art out there, and then worry about
00:44:45.080
getting canceled when that comes. From Varinder, dear Mr. Knowles, I was wondering about you as a
00:44:51.080
religious person. What are your views on the non-Abrahamic Eastern religions, such as Buddhism,
00:44:56.240
Hinduism, Hinduism, and Sikhism? Also, I heard you like Indian food. What would you normally order
00:45:00.920
at an Indian restaurant? Uh, came for Ben, stayed for Michael, subscribe for Candace. Oh, thank you.
00:45:06.140
Well, I'll answer the latter question first. I refer very, uh, reverently to most Indian food as
00:45:13.640
various colors of goop. And I, I've visited with my Indian friend. I've visited India before and I,
00:45:19.180
I never can remember the name. So I'll say like, I like the green goop and I like the,
00:45:22.240
the orange goop. I probably would get sag paneer. Uh, always go for that. I'd probably get, I'm kind
00:45:28.800
of a basic American guy, so I'd probably get like a chicken tikka masala sort of thing. Get some of
00:45:33.520
that delicious naan, you know, I can, I can get into Indian food. I really like that. And as far as
00:45:38.340
the non-theistic religions, I do have, uh, obviously I don't agree with them and I don't believe in them
00:45:45.300
and I'm not a, not a member of those faiths. However, I, I do think that non-theistic religion
00:45:50.860
can tell us something about the world and actually can point toward theistic religion and specifically
00:45:58.800
Christianity. There is, I visited Varanasi, which is this sort of ancient spiritual city. It's a
00:46:05.960
really, really amazing city with such a abundant, not non-theistic, generally speaking, religious life,
00:46:12.360
though I did visit a few kind of ruined churches and things like that. Uh, what does that tell us?
00:46:18.800
I think it was, uh, there was some famous prelate who said that if you, if you ever leave Christianity,
00:46:24.540
you should become a pagan. And the reason for that is that, uh, paganism and the ancient myths also
00:46:32.260
will tell you something about the natural world. And, and the way that these myths came into being is
00:46:37.360
people were perceiving something about the world and they have a lot of, uh, truth, truth telling
00:46:42.800
capacity. And the difference with Christianity seems to me is that Christianity is, as Lewis would
00:46:48.520
say, a true myth. It is not, it has all the mythic qualities of the non-theistic religions, uh, but it
00:46:56.460
also is incarnational and it also really happened and it also continues to happen today. So that's my
00:47:02.420
view. It's a respectful view that I think, that I think points toward what I would call true religion
00:47:08.000
from Lex. Dear Michael, first, I would like to say that I'm a big fan and appreciate everything you do.
00:47:13.180
Thank you. I'm glad you said that first. Second, I've been thinking about how the Biden administration
00:47:17.320
is holding over 300% more children in cages than Trump and couldn't help wonder if a third of these
00:47:22.120
crimes against humanity made Trump Hitler. Does this make Biden now, these comparisons between the
00:47:27.820
two seem endless? Thank you again. No, it doesn't because, I mean, actually in a way, sure, let's say
00:47:35.340
that it does do that. Even worse than pointing out the hypocrisy and the double standard between Trump
00:47:41.580
and Biden. Think about the hypocrisy and the double standard between Hitler and Mao. Hitler, very, very,
00:47:47.680
very bad guy. Did a lot of very, very, very bad things. Now, very, very bad guy. Did very,
00:47:55.520
very, very, very bad things. Awful totalitarian leaders of their country committed horrific crimes.
00:48:02.500
You can wear a shirt with Mao's face on it. You can't wear a shirt with Hitler's face on it.
00:48:07.140
I don't think you should wear a shirt with either face on it. But in this culture, we have defined
00:48:11.920
one evil ideology as sort of the sole exclusive evil in politics and other evil ideologies we find
00:48:20.540
fashionable. You could wear a shirt with Stalin on it. There are actual Stalinists around today.
00:48:26.080
Che Guevara is the great example. You could, you could totally wear a shirt with Che Guevara.
00:48:30.320
You'd be cool. You'd be on a college campus. So sure, you'd say, okay, well, Trump is Hitler and
00:48:34.940
Biden's Mao. But it doesn't matter if you're Mao because, because Mao does not receive the opprobrium
00:48:40.160
that he ought to in our culture. Last question from Dusty. Hey, Michael, with all this craziness going
00:48:45.280
on in our country today, I find it extremely difficult to see the good things on the horizon.
00:48:48.640
I know it's always darkest before dawn, but do you think we are fighting a losing battle
00:48:53.800
in this country? Or do you think the future is still bright? Thanks for being informative
00:48:56.920
and willing to fight. Well, yeah, it's always darkest before dawn. It's always, always darkest
00:49:01.340
before it goes totally black. So the question is, which way are we going? I am neither an optimist
00:49:07.600
nor a pessimist. I have hope, which is a fact. It's a theological virtue and it's a fact.
00:49:13.360
And here's my hope. I know that the story ends well. I know that my redeemer lives. I know
00:49:20.020
that good defeats evil in the end. Also, I know things are going to get very, very,
00:49:26.600
very bad before that happens. And will that intersect with our lifetime? I don't know. I mean,
00:49:32.500
there's a world in which the country gets way better for the next, I don't know, 50,
00:49:36.080
60 years. And then at that point, you know, it's not, ain't my problem anymore. Or there's a problem
00:49:40.660
that it gets worse and worse and worse. And things don't get better for, I don't know, 100 years,
00:49:43.700
200 years, 300 years. Maybe they don't get better, but I don't, I don't place my joys and my, my
00:49:50.040
longings and that sort of thing. I do what I can for the day and I, I place my, my hopes in eternal
00:49:57.880
things. To quote a friend of mine from the Bronx, who is this great guy down there in the Bronx,
00:50:03.540
he wears an, I love Jesus hat. Baker, super cool guy. He says, I do my best buddy boy and God does
00:50:09.800
the rest. Easy enough for me. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles show. See on Monday.
